At least I've got a Wacky Worm in Sardegna added last week. But the info that it opened in April 1987 and that it was bought new from Pinfari (the article I linked didn't mention it by name, but I doubt there was another company building Wacky Worms in that exact same town back in the 80s) somehow got lost in the process.

Hopefully we'll see the Japanese rides added sometime soon. I guess the only ones that got added so far were the ones in the park with that massive waterslide tower? Well, here's a photo of that, so my post isn't so awfully off-topic.

Kersplash which operated at the Washington State Fair is pretty odd. 1 of 3 E&F Miler Industries' "Water Coasters". The others are more normal, but this one seems to have a sort of mobius layout. It'd be cool to see it dueling. https://rcdb.com/2929.htm
Also, the cars look really funny: https://rcdb.com/2929.htm#p=11453
It relocated to the Edaville Family Theme Park in Massachusetts but has not opened. https://rcdb.com/11937.htm
Upon research the opening has been getting delayed since 2016, but hopefully it'll open this year! It would definitely be a rare cred, but I haven't heard very positive reviews of it!

This isnt a coaster and to be honest it really stretches the definition of "Theme Park" but it made me laugh so here you go

Changzhou built Jiangsu's first tax theme park
The city built the province's first tax law culture theme park in the high-speed rail ecological park. The park covers an area of about 500 acres and promotes taxation knowledge and disseminates tax culture through content such as “taxation, development, people's livelihood”, “Chinese tax history”, “tax sea picking up”, “socialist tax development” and “children's eye tax”. Governing taxes according to law and raising the awareness of taxation for the whole people.

Another bit of random crap I've come across today
The first 12 seconds of this video is an early 1995 advert for the sadly defunct Space World in Japan when they built Venus.
This should terrify anyone whos seen the Dr Who episode Blink (or any of the weeping angel episodes)

Is it me or did they also use the same sound byte as Roller Coaster Tycoon in there as well?

In 1956 the school opened a playground with rides built by the metal/steel department of the high school. They were practice for the students and encouraged creativity. The rides were popular and the school was asked to make rides for several other large playgrounds such as Bokrijk, Diepenbeek, Lummen, Grote Brogel and Hengelhoef.

The school still exists to this day, but the playground closed in 1969.
